Travel Tip: Pop Culture and Cinema in Canada Fakes & Forgeries: Yesterday and Today
Fakes & Forgeries: Yesterday and Today CANADA TORONTO • Royal Ontario Museum • Ongoing
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) invites visitors to test their skills in Fakes & Forgeries: Yesterday and Today. The interactive exhibition presents 115 real and fake objects that run the gamut from historical specimens and cultural artifacts, to household items and designer name brands. Visitors of all ages are invited to guess which objects are real and which are clever fakes. There is also educational information about pirated computer software as well as a section on counterfeit currency. Visitors learn how to tell authentic pieces from sly forgeries and discover the fascinating lengths forgers will take to hoodwink the unwary. Once Fakes & Forgeries completes its ROM engagement on April 4, 2010, the exhibition will travel to museums across Canada.
